We arrive to Rabat around 4pm, that is heat time in Morocco. We planed to visit Rabat only because we need next day morning go to Mauritanian embassy to buy visa. In case of spending night in Rabat we decide to find hotel close to train station. We found hotel Central (price 170 dr per double room), nice, expensive, with bathroom inside (toilet on corridor), 10 minutes with heavy backpacks from train station, busy and noisy area, perfect for those, who only want to have on night and use next morning train, but not that good for those, who wanna save money or enjoy medina in the evening.
But we didn't want to waste an evening and decide to walk around the town. What can I say for sure - Rabat is MUCH MORE interesting city than Casablanca. Architecture, monuments,
medina, or even kazba (fort). Our Hotel was in Nouvelle ville, where we can find lot of European architecture. We went to visit Kazba al-Udaja, old fort on hill next to seacoast. It was one of best things we saw in Morocco. Beautiful, colorful, magic... But first our bed experience is also connected with that place. We become victims of typical plague in Arabic counties - the trickster (you have whole story of him, when u click on the photo on the left). After that situation we decided to not going to Meknes and Fes, 2 tourist cities with lot of "guides" etc., and go straight to Western Sahara and Mauritania. That wasn't our day. This evening henna painter also cheat us for 5€ as a price of shity henna hand decoration. We were disappiointed about this city. Everything was against us. We were looking forward for tomorrow, when we will have Mauritanian visas and be able to go south. So we drunk some Moroccan tea (green or black tea, strong, with fresh mint, VERY sweet), and come back early to our room.
